Qarabağ FK forward, Kwabena Owusu has dismissed claims that there were rift between Asamoah Gyan and Andre Dede Ayew during the African Cup Of Nations held in Egypt.
Reports in the media suggested that there was a beef between Asamoah Gyan and Andre Ayew after the captain arm banned was taken from the former Sunderland attacker and handed to the Swansea City star by former coach Kwasi Appiah but Owusu has rubbished such reports, insisting the two were cool in camp.
The captaincy issue has been one of the major problems hunting the senior national soccer team of Ghana since Senegal 1992 AFCON.
Speaking on Hot Fm’s ‘Focal Sports’, the former Leganes striker said: “There was no division between Asamoah Gyan and Dede Ayew at Black Stars camp during AFCON 2019 held in Egypt.
“We were united in Egypt during the AFCON and there was nothing like division. We were one at the camp”, Kwabena Owusu noted.
Meanwhile, the new head coach for the Ghana national soccer team, CK Akonnor also named his new leaders in the team.
Swansea City’s star Andre Dede Ayew retains the captain’s armband with Thomas Partey as 1st deputy captain and Richard Ofori as 2nd deputy captain.
